Windshield Tint — Reduce Glare and Heat Where It Matters Most

Up to 97% IR Rejection

A ceramic or Crystalline windshield tint strip or full windshield film can block up to 97% of infrared heat before it enters the cabin.

99.9% UV Blocked

Your windshield lets in the most UV exposure. Tinting it blocks 99.9% of ultraviolet radiation, protecting your face, arms, and dashboard.

Glare Reduction

Reduce blinding glare from low-angle winter sun and summer highway reflection — especially important on Calgary's east-west corridors.

Alberta Legal

We use light-transmitting ceramic films (70%+ VLT) that maintain legal visibility while still rejecting significant heat and UV.

Why Tint Your Windshield?

Most people think of window tinting as something you do to the side and rear windows. But the windshield is the largest glass surface on your vehicle, and it’s responsible for the majority of solar heat and UV radiation entering the cabin. Tinting your windshield can make a bigger difference to cabin comfort than tinting all other windows combined.

In Calgary, windshield tinting addresses two specific problems. In summer, the high-altitude sun (Calgary sits at 1,045m elevation) produces intense UV and IR radiation. In winter, low-angle sun creates blinding glare, especially on east-west roads like Memorial Drive, Glenmore Trail, and 16th Avenue.

Windshield Tint Options

Full Windshield Film — A single sheet of ceramic or Crystalline film applied to the entire windshield. This provides maximum heat and UV rejection. We use only 3M Ceramic IR or Crystalline films at 70% VLT or higher for windshield applications to maintain legal visibility.

Windshield Sun Strip (Visor Strip) — A band of film applied across the top 4–6 inches of the windshield. This targets the most common glare zone without covering the full windshield. Available in darker shades since it sits above the driver’s primary line of sight.

3M Crystalline (CR 90)90%97%99.9%Nearly invisible, maximum heat rejection

Both options are virtually invisible on the windshield while providing dramatic heat and UV reduction.

Is Windshield Tinting Legal in Alberta?

Yes, with conditions. Alberta’s Traffic Safety Act requires the windshield to maintain adequate visibility. There is no specific VLT percentage written into the provincial regulations for windshields (unlike some US states), but law enforcement can issue a ticket if they determine visibility is impaired.

In practice, films at 70% VLT or higher are widely accepted because they transmit more than enough light for safe driving. The 3M Crystalline CR 90 at 90% VLT is essentially undetectable — even experienced officers cannot tell it’s there — while still blocking 97% of infrared heat.

We only install windshield films that maintain high light transmission. We will not install dark tint on a windshield. For complete details on Alberta tint regulations, visit our Alberta Window Tint Laws page.

I had a great experience. Very knowledgeable staff, flexible and thorough in their work. Clean place with the lowest prices in town. Best part for me was the drive in service and being done in a couple of hours!
Vic Aulakh
Everyone that works here is top notch. From the owner to the manager to the guys doing the work. They were honest and went well above what they were obligated to do.
The level of finishing and the pricing was exceptional. I cannot recommend them enough. Very clean and professional.

They took excellent care of my vehicle! Tinting looks most excellent (and so much visibility at night!). My only regret is not going darker on the rear windows (but that's on me - they did precisely what I asked and with impeccable quality and service). Thank you!!
Patrick Young
Had a great experience getting some vehicles tinted, the process was quick and easy! They got me in within 24 hours of calling which was also really nice and the price was fair based on bringing in multiple vehicles.
Kai Fahrion
Great service and much cheaper than the dealer was asking. Booked my appointment online and had my car in the next morning for a window tint job.
They even drove me to work and picked me up at the end of the day when my car was ready. Highly recommend these guys!

I had a really positive experience with Calgary Pro-Window Tinting. I found their website easy to navigate and Caleb was responsive when I called with questions.
They got me in fast and were accommodating when I needed to change my appointment due to weather. The workmanship is very good and I am happy with the result. Their pricing was competitive and I appreciated the included loaner vehicle. I have no hesitation in recommending them for those interested in 3M.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is windshield tinting legal in Alberta?

Yes, windshield tinting is legal in Alberta as long as it meets visibility requirements. We use 3M Crystalline film on windshields which is virtually clear, blocks significant heat and UV, and easily meets all legal requirements while dramatically improving comfort.

What type of tint is used on windshields?

We use 3M Crystalline for windshields because it is nearly invisible at 70 to 90 percent light transmission while still rejecting up to 97 percent of infrared heat. This means you get serious heat reduction without any noticeable change in visibility.

Does windshield tint affect night driving?

High-quality windshield tint like 3M Crystalline has minimal impact on night visibility because it allows 70 to 90 percent of light through. Most drivers report improved comfort from reduced headlight glare. We always recommend the appropriate shade for safe driving.
